Agentic AI will transform every enterprise–but only if agents are trusted experts.

The key: Evaluation & tuning on specialized, expert data.

I’m excited to announce two new products to support this–@SnorkelAI Evaluate & Expert Data-as-a-Service–along w/ our $100M Series D!

---

Snorkel Evaluate is our new data-centric agentic AI evaluation platform for specialized, mission-critical enterprise settings where vibe checks and out-of-the-box metrics driven by simple LLM prompts are not enough.

Snorkel Expert Data-as-a-Service is our white glove service for expert-level AI datasets, powering frontier LLM developers in areas like expert knowledge, reasoning, agentic action and tool use, and more!

Both built on top of @SnorkelAI’s Data Development Platform, using our programmatic technology to drive higher-quality expert data, faster– for getting specialized AI to real production value.

If you’re building enterprise AI and want to partner around the key ingredient in AI today–the data–book a demo and let's talk! https://t.co/w0J8izpn8p

Finally, see thread for details on 🧵👇
- 📽️ A walkthrough of Snorkel Evaluate and Expert Data-as-a-Service on an agentic AI enterprise task
- 📅 An upcoming event on Enterprise Agentic AI with innovators from @Accenture @BNY @Comcast @Stanford @QBE & others
- 📊 An upcoming series of benchmark datasets and model artifact releases

🚧 Construction logistics isn’t known for cutting-edge software—but @isheepdog is changing that.

By embedding Numbers Station directly into their product, brokers can instantly query their data using plain English and get real-time insights without waiting on a report or navigating a dashboard.

Our agents eliminated the bottlenecks of manual analysis, and gave their brokers something rare in construction logistics:

Speed, visibility, and confidence.

It’s a powerful example of what happens when traditional industries embrace modern data agents. 🚀

March Madness just tipped off—so we had a little fun and asked our agents to make sense of the data behind the madness. 🏀

We uploaded @EvanMiya’s advanced metrics (O-rating, D-rating, true tempo, 10-0s) into NS, and let our agents surface insights to help us make smarter picks.

In just seconds, we:
📂 Uploaded @EvanMiya’s CSV
📓 Asked in plain English
⚡ Got bracket-ready insights instantly

Use these insights to shape your bracket—and this time, know your picks are backed by advanced agents.

Because whether it’s March Madness or market strategy, smart decisions start with better analysis.

🚴🏻‍♂️ I love Strava. It keeps me motivated, helps me track my runs, and gives me a sense of progress. Being in the data industry, I wanted to see my metrics.

But after looking into the in-app analytics, I realized I had more questions than Strava could answer.

Strava has some summary stats, but I wanted to know more—so I exported my Strava data and uploaded it into Numbers Station.

In just a few minutes, I used plain English to analyze my training habits, create charts on-the-fly, and found cuts of data I hadn't found on Strava.

Our agents got to work, and I learned that:

🏃🏻 I ran 2,881 miles; 119 of those on a trail
🚴🏻‍♂️ My go-to exercise is running and the occasional riding
🗓️ I tend to exercise on Wednesdays

🚀 OpenAI’s Response APIs + Numbers Station Agents

Numbers Station's extensible agent architecture means we can move fast. By integrating @OpenAI's newly released Response APIs, we show how we can seamlessly marry document agents with our structured data agents.

📂 Leverage documents to enhance answers with embedded insights
🔎 Agents use RAG to find relevant data
🔗 Bridge structured + unstructured data

Built for adaptability. Built for better insights.⚡

[Together AI @togethercompute]

Excited to partner with @NumbersStnAI to launch Model Switch! Powered by models hosted on Together AI, we're giving data teams the freedom to choose the most efficient open-source models for their AI-driven analytics.

2025 is the year of agents, and we're excited to see Numbers Station bring agents to structured data. 🚀📊

A sneak peek at Numbers Station Workflows.

🚀 Getting insights is just the start—true impact comes from automation.

Instead of answering the same questions over and over, Workflows automates analyses without you ever having to ask.

Setting up a Workflow is simple: 🧵

The future isn’t about adding another BI tool to "wow" executives with a few new insights.

It’s about unifying what you already know and making it accessible and actionable at scale.

Only after unlocking 90% of already found insights does the last 10% of new insights matter.

Data is only as good as the story it tells.

But last week, I found a ridiculously easy way to pull out data insights
